500 g Lean beef mince (5% fat)
210 g Pasta, dry
400 g Canned tomatoes
80 g Mozzarella
1 onion Onion
3 cloves Garlic
2 tsp Olive oil
Oregano, salt, pepper, chilli flakes

Method

Mix the mince with salt, pepper and oregano, and roll into about 18 balls .
Brown them in the oil in a wide pan, 4 minutes, turning once. They finish in the sauce, so do not cook them through.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, fry for 2 minutes, then the tomatoes and a splash of water.
Simmer for 12 minutes while the pasta cooks, then tear the mozzarella over the top and put a lid on for 2 minutes.

Swaps

Swap the beef for turkey mince and add a spoon of mustard to the mix.
Serve on a baked potato or with bread instead of pasta.
